England Day 37: Halfway Mark

This week marks the halfway mark of camp. It does not feel like it all it. It's crazy. It feels like I just got here. Having fun makes the time fly. Although I definitely miss my family back at home. Can't wait to see them.

Monday was a pretty chill day. Blitz went well and we then moved into clubs. I am in Exploration Club this week. We had the kids make science journals to write down all of the predictions and conclusions and explorations. We had the kids test paper airplanes by making them out of different materials. They made airplanes out of construction paper, computer paper, and tissue paper. They had so much fun flying them around the room and testing to see which ones worked better. They wrote down what happened in their journals and said they felt like scientists. It was lots of fun.

We then had lunch and then went on break. For this week, I am working in Open Rec from 1-5. Open Rec is a place only for the preteen kids. They get o sign out from camp and go to Open Rec and then they get to do whatever they want the rest of the day. There are tvs, wii, xbox, snack bar, pool, crafts, outside, and computers. I am mostly there to make sure they all get along but the adults that work there mostly just get to hang around. I played pool with one boy and watched Harry Potter and video games for most of the day. It's a pretty laid back environment and it's nice to relax a little since it's the halfway mark. I can re-energize and then be ready to roll the next week when I'm back in full camp days.

After open rec, we headed home and had a meeting. We talked about getting in a halfway slump and staying energized. Brittany then had us write little notes to each other about what we liked about each other and how we love working with them. It was really nice to read all the lovely notes and from everyone.

After the meeting and notes, we watched the 6th Harry Potter. We are almost done with the movies and we plan to see the 7th part 2 on Saturday in London! It will be so much fun! Can't wait! When the movie was over we headed off to bed to get ready for the next day.

Cheerio.
